The MLB’s first team to clinch a playoff spot this season is none other than the Chicago Cubs. If you’re a fan of the team or baseball in general, you know that Kris Bryant had a huge part in making that happen. The reigning Rookie of the Year and MVP candidate leads the team in both batting and home runs. With him being an adidas athlete, adidas wanted to do something special for him in anticipation for his upcoming postseason run.

What you see above is special set of champagne-inspired cleats that adidas gifted Bryant. As some of you may know, the champagne theme ties to the tradition of champagne being the drink of choice when it comes to celebrating in the locker room after clinching a spot in the playoffs, winning a division or most importantly, the World Series. As an added touch, adidas even included a golden ice bucket along with the shoes.

For those of you who know their cleats, the cleats given to Bryant were the Energy Icon Boost 2.0 and Afterburner 3.

Get a good look at both cleats in the image above.

We previewed a handful of new upcoming colorways of the adidas EQT Support ADV Cool. It was reported that many of the new colorways would be dropping this month. Just recently we found out that the adidas EQT Support ADV Cool Grey is already arriving at select international retailers. Today we take another look at the shoe.

This version of the adidas EQT Support ADV comes constructed out of a suede, mesh and synthetic upper predominantly done in a Cool Grey color scheme. Notable features on the shoe include the Three Stripes branding placed on the side panels and of course, the signature translucent cage  reinforcing the rear portion of the shoe. The sole comes in a clean White rubber fashion that not only provided nice contrast, but comfort as well. Already available internationally, we hope these land stateside any day now.

Earlier in the week we gave you a first look at a new colorway of the adidas Ultra Boost that featured a new design/pattern placed on the Primeknit upper.

It turns out that this may be the next Chinese New Year colorway of the Ultra Boost. Completely differentiating itself from the CNY pair that released earlier this year, this Ultra Boost features a black and red Primeknit upper with a special circular Chinese New Year logo on the tongue. A white Boost midsole and black rubber outsole complete the look on this Ultra Boost.

There is no release date yet, but the shoe may be releasing in early 2017. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

The new pattern on the Primeknit looks pretty dope. These will most likely be limited though so my chances at getting a pair will be limited. I look forward to seeing more pictures.

For the most part, the Stan Smith isn’t a shoe I would pick up. But the White/Gum combination suits the shoe really well! The price is right! Looks like we have an early candidate for next week’s Save Your Money feature.

Ever since we saw the triumphant return of the adidas Gazelle earlier this summer, every version has been built in suede. That’s about to change this fall, as the revamped Gazelle designed to its early 1990s specifications arrives in this stealthy all-black leather look. The murdered out Gazelle features nothing but black leather and rubber from top to bottom?except for a touch of gold foil for the Gazelle branding on each later side. “Triple Black” sneaker fans can find this Gazelle at select adidas Originals suppliers beginning now.

Ranked number 10 in the nation, the Louisville Cardinals is currently facing the Florida State Gators (ranked number 2) for College Game Day.

To support the Louisville Cardinals football team, a special variation of the adidas Ultra Boost is revealed and somewhat similar to the previously released Multicolor 2.0 version this past July. Unlike that aforementioned pair, this iteration flaunts a clean white profile with the only notable contrasting element directed at the heel cage in red to perfectly coordinate with the team’s signature color.

Check out the game, as it’s live right now on ABC.

If you’re a die-hard fan of the Japanese brand, this should excite you a bit. The colorway is versatile so you can’t go wrong with a pair. I’ll only consider purchasing for resale purposes — haha.

Last offered in all-black, the adidas Yeezy Boost 350-inspired ZX Flux ADV X is revealed in another tonal finish, this time consisting of Olive Cargo.

Perfectly suiting the Fall/Winter season, the defining hue essentially covers the sneaker’s entire profile. Breathable mesh is utilized for its upper, while suede accents adorn the heel patch and pull tab, along with a synthetic heel cage. All adhered atop a full-length rubber sole unit, the aesthetic is topped off with rope laces as a tribute to the Yeezys.

You can purchase this pair at select adidas retailers sometime later this month.

It looks more appealing when it isn’t rendered in tonal finishes. This pair isn’t that bad though. You can’t go wrong with the colorway, especially since it has been a trending hue.

No football cleat in the history of cleats has gotten the type of buzz that they adidas Yeezy Cleats have gotten over the last week. Adidas created the adidas Yeezy 750 and Yeezy 350 Cleats in the OG Grey and Turtle Dove colorways and had adidas-sponsored NFL players Von Miller, Adrian Peterson, and Deandre Hopkins debut them on the field last week. Adidas even released the 350s to the public yesterday.

But not everyone is a fan of the Yeezy cleats. It’s being reported by ESPN that the NFL has banned the adidas Yeezy 350 Cleat and also fined Deandre Hopkins $6,00 for wearing them during a game last week. The cleats don’t fall in line with the NFL’s uniform policy which states that all cleats must have a solid base color unless pre-approved.

When Hopkins was asked if he would continue to wear the cleats and take the fine, he said not unless Kanye West was willing to pay for the fines himself. This “banning” of the Yeezy cleats could be a big opportunity for adidas as they can take a similar approach as Nike when the NBA banned the Air Jordan 1 Bred back in 1985. We’ll see how adidas decides to play this out.

There are very few things fresher than a pair of adidas rocking a White Primeknit upper. That all-White woven look is godly! The next model to boast that look is none other than the adidas EQT Cushion 93 Primeknit.

The adidas EQT Cushion 93 Primeknit is a modernized version of the classic adidas EQT Cushion 93 by giving it a Primeknit constructed upper. Features that stand out are the Sub Green hits placed throughout, the striped tongue, the branding on the heel pull tab and the ribbon Three Stripes branding.

Tomorrow we’ll be seeing three new NMDs make their way to retailers, all with colored Boost midsoles. But with Fall and Winter approaching, will everyone still be able to wear their NMDs?

Probably not, unless you want to run the risk of messing them up. This is why adidas has created the all-new adidas NMD Trail. This new version of the popular runner feature a new look that is better suited for the colder times of the year. Seen above in two colorways of black and blue, the NMD Trail features a nylon upper for comfort. Other details include EVA inserts on the midsole, a white Boost midsole, and a new trail outsole that has ridges on it.

Expected to release on October 1st in women’s sizing at select retailers, stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for details.

I don’t see much difference between this Trail NMD and the original version. The weather never gets too bad here where I live so I’ll just stick to the regular NMDs.

adidas is once again releasing iconic models with some modern flare. Up next is the adidas EQT Running Support 93 Primeknit. Based off the name of the shoe, we’re pretty sure you know what this shoe consists of.

From afar, the adidas EQT Running Support 93 Primeknit appears to be an ordinary EQT Running Support 93, it’s only when you take a closer look at the shoe that you will see that the upper is done in a Primeknit construction. The ribbon Three Striped branding remain intact, while a TPU heel counter is placed for additional structure and support. Boasting an OG colorway, adidas decides to keep the original sole of the shoe to help give it some added vintage aesthetics. Hot? Pick up your very own pair today at select international retailers such as Germany’s very own, BSTN.

Less than 24 hours away before they drop, consider this your adidas NMD_R1 Triple Black release reminder. Releasing alongside the Solar Red NMD and the Core Black NMD XR1 here are some on-feet images of the adidas NMD_R1 Triple Black.

As the name of the shoe suggests, the shoe comes in an all-Black motif from top to bottom.

Releasing tomorrow and priced at $140, best of luck if you’re trying to get a pair, you’re going to need it.

Very nice. A little pricey considering it’s mesh and not Primeknit, but I guess the Boost makes up for it.
